Chapter 48 (2/2)

He was but sixteen years old when he acquired the rank of a Pill Apprentice, so it could be seen that his future would be limitless . Even if they couldn’t curry favor with him, they still couldn’t leave him a bad impression .

Long Chen was still a bit unused to his sudden rise . Making some inquiries, he learned that Yun Qi was currently in his own room and he went straight there .

“Enter . ”

Just as he was about to knock, Yun Qi’s old voice rang out .

Entering, he saw Yun Qi sitting lotus style . In front of him was a bowl of water, but the water was as black as ink and even emitted a fishy odor .

“Wei Cang’s Yin Fiend Palm has become much more powerful . But it is a heretical technique and is unable to become a great technique . ” Yun Qi disdainfully looked at the bowl of black water .

“Grandmaster, is your hand ok?”

Yun Qi had received Wei Cang’s palm that day, and that palm had contained a Yin Fiend’s poison .

“After a night’s work, it’s basically fine now,” smiled Yun Qi .

“It took a night?”

Long Chen was startled . Grandmaster Yun Qi had profound skill and power . Even with his forceful Pill Flame, he actually needed a whole night to purify it?

“You don’t need to be surprised . Wei Cang’s Yin Fiend Palm is extremely sinister and has a definite resistance to Pill Flame . Although it took a night to purify the poison, Wei Cang will require a whole month to once more restore that toxicity, and that is why I said it was a heretic technique that couldn’t become a great technique,” explained grandmaster Yun Qi .

Only now did Long Chen realize that Wei Cang probably had a limited accomplishment with his Pill Flame compared to other Pill Masters, so he had cultivated a wicked poison Battle Skill like the Yin Fiend Palm, using it to restrain other Pill Masters .

For a Pill Master like him to not focus on his own body’s flame and instead go cultivate a poisonous palm, it was no wonder grandmaster Yun Qi turned his nose up at him .

“Your wounds have healed?” Grandmaster Yun Qi was slightly surprised .

“Hehe, this kid’s skin is tough and meat is thick . Just one night’s rest and I’m fine,” laughed Long Chen .

Grandmaster Yun Qi looked him up and down and sighed, “Originally I had hoped that you could focus wholeheartedly on pills . With your spiritual talent you will be able to walk ever further than me on the pill path . But after yesterday’s battle, I’ve changed my thinking . A martial genius who can battle those in higher realms than him is too rare . It really is a mess . ”

“Hehe, don’t worry grandmaster . I won’t give up either path . ” Long Chen truly was speaking the truth .

That was because his Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was complemented with his accomplishments in alchemy . Without his alchemy, he wouldn’t have even been able to condense his FengFu Star, let alone cultivate .

As for the second star, third star, and so on, they all required medicinal pills to condense . And just the simplest FengFu Star had used up countless medicinal pills .

In his memories it said that each following star’s condensation would require even greater resources than the last . It was a number that was simply impossible to calculate .

Although he didn’t know the exact number, he knew that to condense his FengFu Star he had used hundreds of medicinal pills .

But although the cost was high, the benefits were also correspondingly high . Otherwise a trash like him that didn’t even have a Spirit Root couldn’t even dream of standing out, let alone battle across realms .

“Dual pill martial cultivation isn’t completely unheard of, but usually the gains are not worth the losses . Splitting your attention on two paths required twice the effort for half the gains . Historically, dual pill martial cultivators all wasted their time and in the end accomplished nothing, filling them with regret in their final days . ” Yun Qi shook his head .

Grandmaster Yun Qi wasn’t wrong . No matter how talented you were, without a hundred percent of your effort focused, you would just end up living a mediocre life .

As for dual pill martial cultivation, it split the your time and energy . Countless people had left bitter lessons to later generations that that path was one they couldn’t return from .

But Long Chen had displayed great genius whether it was the pill path or the martial path . His talent was shocking, and even Pill Master Yun Qi didn’t feel that Long Chen should give up on the martial path .

If you choose Pill Cultivation, all your spiritual qi would be transformed to flame and you would only be able to use Battle Skills of one kind of attribute .

Although they had great power, if they met someone with subduing water attribute Battle Skills, they basically could only run .

But Pill Masters were extremely respected, so why would they go battle with others? Others would all want to get a favor from them, so how many would offend them?

Although Pill Masters didn’t have a frightening battle power, you couldn’t forget that each Pill Master had an extremely large support . The sects all needed to form good relations with Pill Cultivators so they could obtain the medicinal pills they needed .

It could be said that if a Pill Cultivator went out, even if he was only a Pill Apprentice, there would be countless powers fighting over that person .

That was why grandmaster Yun Qi had said it was a mess . But Long Chen wasn’t at a loss at all; he had already planned to advance forward .

“I came over today to thank grandmaster for his a.s.sistance yesterday . ” Long Chen was actually very grateful for the support and a.s.sistance of grandmaster Yun Qi .

“Haha, that’s just a small matter . You also let me relieve quite a bit of anger yesterday, so I should be thanking you . ”

Grandmaster Yun Qi laughed and gave Long Chen a praying mat . Letting him sit on it, he said, “Do you want to know why Yun Qi and I are as unmixable as fire and water?”
